The Lotus community hall needs a youth football pitch - Abosede's neighborhood project
A community-led a youth football pitch at the Lotus community hall that will serve 91 neighbors.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 91 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $350 goes:
• Materials: $210
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

rooting for you. Hope you get there. Love from New Delhi.
So sorry you're going through this, Abosede. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Greetings from Bogotá.
praying for you, Abosede. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Benin City
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
